Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 52" shaft affect lift assist requirements?
The extended 52" shaft creates significantly more leverage than standard 45" shafts. Combined with the weight of dual MEGA systems, this requires a specially calibrated cylinder to maintain the smooth, effortless operation expected from QUEST series equipment.
Can this cylinder be used on standard Ultrex motors?
No. This cylinder is engineered specifically for QUEST series motors with 52" shafts. The precision calibration required for QUEST series performance standards makes it incompatible with standard Ultrex motors.
Why is this cylinder different from the 45" QUEST cylinder?
The extended shaft creates different leverage characteristics and stress patterns. This cylinder has specialized spring tension and calibration to handle the unique combination of 52" shaft length, QUEST motor weight, and dual MEGA system integration.
What performance improvements can I expect?
You'll experience restored effortless motor deployment and stowing, elimination of jerky operation, smooth performance throughout the lift range, and maintenance of the professional-grade feel that distinguishes QUEST series equipment.
Is professional installation critical for extended shaft applications?
Absolutely. Extended shaft QUEST motors with dual MEGA systems represent the most complex trolling motor configurations available. Professional installation ensures proper calibration, maintains warranty coverage, and preserves the elite performance standards of your investment.
